CPSD COVID-19 Updates
COVID protocols to continue in Clinton Public School District
On Tuesday, Gov. Reeves signed Executive Order 1549, removing all mask mandates across the state but encouraging all within the state of Mississippi to follow CDC and Mississippi Department of Health’s guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Under the new Executive Order, a mask mandate remains in effect for all state departments, commissions and agencies as well as all K-12 public schools.
“The Clinton Public School District has taken proactive steps throughout the school year to focus on the health and safety of our students and faculty,” Clinton Public School District Superintendent Dr. Tim Martin said.
“We will continue to follow all policies and procedures put in place prior to the start of the school year. Masks will continue to be worn, hand sanitizer will still be provided to every teacher and every student, and campuses will continue to be sanitized regularly.”
Dr. Martin added, “This school year has been an unprecedented one, but with the safety protocols we’ve put in place, we’ve been able to continue instruction to all students in the Clinton Public School District.”
